00:02:08,794 --> 00:02:09,963
[desk officer] How old was the boy?
6
00:02:11,006 --> 00:02:12,591
[officer 1] Just turned nine.
7
00:02:13,091 --> 00:02:14,134
[desk officer] Jesus.

00:02:14,718 --> 00:02:15,636
[door opens]

00:02:21,016 --> 00:02:22,392
[officer 2] Is this your daddy?
10
00:02:23,936 --> 00:02:24,978
And he was driving?

00:02:49,628 --> 00:02:50,796
[Cory] Bradley?
15
00:02:54,216 --> 00:02:55,217
Bradley!
16
00:02:55,926 --> 00:02:58,595
Hey, I-- Listen, I completely understand
why you'd be upset with me.
17
00:02:58,595 --> 00:03:00,264
- Go away.
- I've got a lot of explaining to do.
18
00:03:00,264 --> 00:03:02,182
Paul was behind this.
19
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:03,934
Please just leave me alone, Cory.
20
00:03:03,934 --> 00:03:06,895
Paul was behind this. Can you just
let me in so we can talk about it?
21
00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:11,525
Cory, Paul knows. He fucking knows.
22
00:03:14,027 --> 00:03:15,362
[exhales sharply]
23
00:03:15,362 --> 00:03:16,446
How?
24
00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:20,534
How does he know? Bradley.
25
00:03:20,534 --> 00:03:23,328
[cries] I don't know.
26
00:03:23,328 --> 00:03:26,456
Go away, please. I'm being serious.
Please-- [sobs]
27
00:03:26,456 --> 00:03:28,458
Please, just leave me alone.
28
00:03:38,594 --> 00:03:41,638
[line ringing]
29
00:03:41,638 --> 00:03:44,183
[Bradley] You've reached Bradley Jackson.
Leave a message.
30
00:03:44,183 --> 00:03:45,559
- [beeps]
- Come on.
31
00:03:46,268 --> 00:03:47,269

{\an8}[groans]

Oh, my God.
34
00:03:52,858 --> 00:03:53,859
[Paul] Hey.
35
00:03:53,859 --> 00:03:55,152
[Alex] Hey.
36
00:03:55,152 --> 00:03:56,778
I'm assuming you saw this broadcast.
37
00:03:56,778 --> 00:03:59,364
[Alex] I did. [sighs] I did and this--
38
00:03:59,364 --> 00:04:01,658
- [groans]
- I just saw this article on Cory.
39
00:04:01,658 --> 00:04:05,370
Yeah. [sighs]
Well, I mean, he had to be shut down.
40
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:08,624
It's not like he could blow up the deal,
but like you said,
41
00:04:08,624 --> 00:04:10,959
I'm sure he sure as shit would've tried.
42
00:04:11,460 --> 00:04:13,128
You planted this article?
43
00:04:14,171 --> 00:04:15,714
I gave them information.
44
00:04:16,673 --> 00:04:19,635
Oh, my God, Paul. Cory is a lot of things,
but a sexual predator?
45
00:04:19,635 --> 00:04:22,763
I mean, honestly,
why didn't you talk to me about this?
46
00:04:22,763 --> 00:04:24,181
We don't do this.
47
00:04:24,181 --> 00:04:26,099
I didn't want you to get your hands dirty.
48
00:04:26,099 --> 00:04:29,019
This is not just bad for Cory.
This is terrible for Bradley.
49
00:04:29,019 --> 00:04:31,188
She just resigned.
50
00:04:31,188 --> 00:04:32,272
Okay.
51
00:04:32,814 --> 00:04:33,815
[sighs]
52
00:04:35,234 --> 00:04:37,986
That article is not why she resigned.
[sighs]
53
00:04:39,530 --> 00:04:40,531
Well, then what--
54
00:04:41,365 --> 00:04:42,491
Okay.
55
00:04:42,491 --> 00:04:43,825
I just spoke to Gayle.
56
00:04:44,368 --> 00:04:46,411
She said that she saw you
go into Bradley's dressing room
57
00:04:46,411 --> 00:04:47,913
right before she went on air, so you--
58
00:04:47,913 --> 00:04:51,083
Just tell me what happened.
What did you say to her?
59
00:04:52,835 --> 00:04:56,088
A friend of mine from the FBI
reached out to me. [sighs]
60
00:04:56,088 --> 00:04:59,508
The Feds are considering leveling charges
against Bradley and her brother.
61
00:04:59,508 --> 00:05:03,720
What? Char-- What char--
What are you talking about?
62
00:05:04,388 --> 00:05:08,767
Her brother assaulted a Capitol Hill
police officer on January 6th,
63
00:05:08,767 --> 00:05:12,771
and Bradley withheld evidence
to help cover it up.
64
00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:16,859
Oh, my God.
65
00:05:18,569 --> 00:05:20,112
No, no, no, no, no.
66
00:05:21,238 --> 00:05:23,657
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Why didn't you--
67
00:05:23,657 --> 00:05:25,826
How did you know this,
and you not talk to me about this--
68
00:05:25,826 --> 00:05:28,495
Alex, if this was made public,
it would be a fucking disaster.
69
00:05:28,495 --> 00:05:31,164
I mean,
this could feed mistrust of the media.
70
00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:33,041
This could blow back on you.
71
00:05:33,041 --> 00:05:34,793
You're the one who brought her in.
72
00:05:35,627 --> 00:05:38,297
Not a great look for someone
who's trying to launch something new.
73
00:05:38,297 --> 00:05:40,215
Did you tell her to resign?
74
00:05:40,215 --> 00:05:44,344
I told her that I would do
every single thing in my power to help.
75
00:05:45,971 --> 00:05:47,514
Resigning was her idea.
76
00:05:48,432 --> 00:05:50,267
And honestly, I think she felt relieved.
77
00:05:52,269 --> 00:05:55,272
[sighing]
78
00:06:06,366 --> 00:06:08,660
[Stella] Anybody out there? Hello?
79
00:06:10,078 --> 00:06:11,079
Hello?
80
00:06:11,955 --> 00:06:13,999
[gamer] Whoa, CodeQueen.
81
00:06:13,999 --> 00:06:15,083
[Stella] Hey, Mel.
82
00:06:15,083 --> 00:06:16,251
It's been forever.
83
00:06:16,752 --> 00:06:18,962
You haven't seen
SpaceCase around, have you?
84
00:06:18,962 --> 00:06:23,008
[Mel] Uh, a couple months ago.
She was messed up though.
85
00:06:23,008 --> 00:06:24,718
Some weird shit was going down.
86
00:06:24,718 --> 00:06:26,470
[Stella] What kind of weird shit?
87
00:06:26,470 --> 00:06:28,764
[Mel] I don't know. You try DMing her?
88
00:06:29,348 --> 00:06:31,934
I told her to go to Nevermore,
fuck up some zombies.
89
00:06:32,726 --> 00:06:34,895
Yeah. Yeah, I got it. Thanks. [sighs]
90
00:06:34,895 --> 00:06:36,897
[Mel] Sure. See you.
91
00:07:00,254 --> 00:07:04,383
{\an8}We're still reeling from last night's
UBA double whammy.
92
00:07:04,383 --> 00:07:08,303
{\an8}Top-rated evening anchor
Bradley Jackson resigned on air
93
00:07:08,303 --> 00:07:10,764
{\an8}citing, that old chestnut,
personal reasons.
94
00:07:11,306 --> 00:07:13,725
{\an8}Translation? Cory Ellison.
95
00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:17,437
{\an8}As that elevator photo
makes painfully clear,
96
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:22,109
{\an8}UBA's CEO got way too personal
with his attractive on-air talent,
97
00:07:22,109 --> 00:07:25,028
{\an8}and UBA top brass dutifully announced
98
00:07:25,028 --> 00:07:29,658
{\an8}they've hired an independent law firm
to investigate any possible misconduct.
99
00:07:29,658 --> 00:07:32,619
{\an8}Y'all. Really? Let me
save you some billable hours.
100
00:07:32,619 --> 00:07:35,247
{\an8}New boss, same as the creepy old boss.
101
00:07:35,247 --> 00:07:36,790
{\an8}[chuckling] So, what?
102
00:07:37,833 --> 00:07:41,003
I'm gonna become an asterisk
right under Mitch Kessler's asterisk?
103
00:07:41,003 --> 00:07:43,422
Not a rapist,
but just bad enough to never work again?
104
00:07:43,422 --> 00:07:47,676
We're not giving credence to a tabloid
by responding to false allegations.
105
00:07:47,676 --> 00:07:49,011
Are you sure?
106
00:07:49,011 --> 00:07:51,096
They say every picture tells a story,
107
00:07:51,096 --> 00:07:56,310
and Bradley Jackson slumped
in Cory's arms like a dead dog
108
00:07:56,310 --> 00:07:58,854
tells rather a lurid one, don't you think?
109
00:07:58,854 --> 00:08:00,731
Let me tell you another story, Leonard.
110
00:08:00,731 --> 00:08:04,902
Bradley was piss drunk that night,
and I helped her up to her room.
111
00:08:05,819 --> 00:08:07,779
We had grilled cheese,
112
00:08:07,779 --> 00:08:10,407
and then she passed out
while I watched TV in the other room.
113
00:08:10,407 --> 00:08:13,744
I don't remember any sexual harassment,
114
00:08:13,744 --> 00:08:16,330
but I fucking remember
that grilled cheese, 'cause it was good.
115
00:08:16,330 --> 00:08:18,707
So let's put out that statement
and let me get back to work.
116
00:08:18,707 --> 00:08:20,250
I think it's too messy, Cory.
117
00:08:20,834 --> 00:08:22,044
Between that and the outing,
118
00:08:22,044 --> 00:08:24,671
I think the public would never
be able to get its head around it.
119
00:08:24,671 --> 00:08:28,550
Look, just cooperate with the inquiry,
120
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:31,803
and in the meantime, for heaven's sake,
take a leave of absence.
121
00:08:31,803 --> 00:08:33,597
At least until the deal's done.
122
00:08:33,597 --> 00:08:37,267
You know what? Inquire away.
But I'm not going anywhere.
123
00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:41,938
Brenda, if you would be so kind,
I'd like a private word with Leonard.
124
00:08:41,938 --> 00:08:42,856
Of course.
125
00:08:47,277 --> 00:08:48,278
Leonard.
126
00:08:49,947 --> 00:08:53,158
[inhales deeply]
So, what do you want, Cory? [sighs]
127
00:08:53,158 --> 00:08:54,368
Don't let him sell us off.
128
00:08:56,495 --> 00:08:59,665
You can be the savior of legacy media.
129
00:08:59,665 --> 00:09:01,708
You can be the champion of the free press.
130
00:09:01,708 --> 00:09:05,254
Just convince the shareholders
to vote no on the deal.
131
00:09:05,254 --> 00:09:07,339
At least until
we have another offer in place.
132
00:09:07,339 --> 00:09:09,299
What other offers?
133
00:09:09,299 --> 00:09:12,177
Who else is gonna take the company on
after what you've done?
134
00:09:12,177 --> 00:09:17,099
No. [stammers] Let Paul Marks sell it off,
and then we're done with it. [sighs]
135
00:09:40,330 --> 00:09:41,623
[line ringing]
136
00:09:44,877 --> 00:09:46,795
- [Cybil] Hello?
- Cybil.
137
00:09:46,795 --> 00:09:48,088
- [Cybil] Cory?
- Hi.
138
00:09:48,797 --> 00:09:51,091
I think we could both use a friend.
139
00:09:52,050 --> 00:09:53,051
Run it through legal.
140
00:09:53,719 --> 00:09:55,095
We don't know, so we don't comment.
141
00:09:55,637 --> 00:09:57,139
Sit on it until I get back to you.
142
00:09:57,973 --> 00:09:59,975
Hey. Anyone heard from Bradley?
143
00:09:59,975 --> 00:10:03,103
Uh, Bradley, yeah.
She's not answering her calls or emails.
144
00:10:03,103 --> 00:10:04,479
Okay, maybe I should go talk to her--
145
00:10:04,479 --> 00:10:07,232
No, no. RJ went over there earlier.
She wouldn't let him in.
146
00:10:08,317 --> 00:10:09,902
This fucking article.
147
00:10:09,902 --> 00:10:11,945
I can't even believe it.
Do you think it's true?
148
00:10:14,406 --> 00:10:15,782
I don't know what to think.
149
00:10:16,491 --> 00:10:19,077
[sighs] Okay, what about the evening news?
What's the plan?
150
00:10:19,077 --> 00:10:20,287
Joshua's covering.
151
00:10:21,163 --> 00:10:22,164
But not permanently.
152
00:10:23,248 --> 00:10:26,543
Listen, if you're gonna pick up somebody
from TMS, like Chris or Yanko,
153
00:10:26,543 --> 00:10:29,129
I'd appreciate the heads-up.
It's crazy enough as it is.
154
00:10:30,506 --> 00:10:31,882
You wanna sit down for a sec?
155
00:10:39,598 --> 00:10:44,561
After Friday,
we may not need a permanent news anchor.
156
00:10:45,187 --> 00:10:47,523
What do you mean he's breaking it up?
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
157
00:10:47,523 --> 00:10:50,734
Yeah, fuck it.
Let's give Paul Marks fucking color bars.
158
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,111
That's right, yeah. No more TMS.
Yeah, we'll stage a walkout.
159
00:10:53,111 --> 00:10:55,239
I don't know.
This is a big story, Yanko. [scoffs]
160
00:10:55,239 --> 00:10:58,325
Chris, so what? Then we'll slip it to YDA,
and we do the walkout.
161
00:10:58,325 --> 00:11:00,869
- [Rena] It's not that simple.
- This is our story to tell.
162
00:11:00,869 --> 00:11:02,204
We should do the show.
163
00:11:02,204 --> 00:11:04,039
We don't have enough to run anything.
164
00:11:04,540 --> 00:11:07,501
Bradley was working the Hyperion angle
before she resigned.
165
00:11:07,501 --> 00:11:09,211
Our whistleblower went AWOL.
166
00:11:09,962 --> 00:11:11,713
Literally no one will go on the record.
167
00:11:11,713 --> 00:11:15,509
Stella's right. Trash-talking Paul Marks
is not even gonna make Twitter, so--
168
00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:16,885
Who cares about Paul Marks?
169
00:11:17,678 --> 00:11:22,558
The 20,000 employees at UBA deserve to
know what's at stake in this board vote.
170
00:11:22,558 --> 00:11:26,395
If the lights are going out, we need
to talk about what that means for them.
171
00:11:26,395 --> 00:11:27,312
For us.
172
00:11:29,064 --> 00:11:31,233
Yeah, we'd need something loud though.
173
00:11:31,233 --> 00:11:32,484
The right guest.
174
00:11:33,485 --> 00:11:34,903
Someone who has nothing to lose.
175
00:12:02,890 --> 00:12:03,891
Okay.
176
00:12:10,272 --> 00:12:11,940
[Cory] This is why they hate us.
177
00:12:11,940 --> 00:12:15,360
Ninety million gallons of water a year
on this shit.
178
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,237
[Reed] They let you join this place?
179
00:12:17,237 --> 00:12:19,198
Oh, no,
I'd never pass the background check.
180
00:12:19,198 --> 00:12:22,075
I was arrested protesting CFCs
in the '80s.
181
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:23,452
- Clothing-optional.
- [Reed chuckles]
182
00:12:23,452 --> 00:12:25,579
But we made our point.
You see the ozone layer?
183
00:12:25,579 --> 00:12:26,914
Yeah, then you're trespassing.
184
00:12:26,914 --> 00:12:28,207
[Cory chuckles]
185
00:12:28,207 --> 00:12:30,000
And how exactly did you find me?
186
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,085
You're a creature of habit, Reed.
187
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:35,506
And you're toxic, Cory.
Full-on radioactive.
188
00:12:35,506 --> 00:12:38,300
[Cory] That's exactly what Paul Marks
wants you to think,
189
00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:42,179
because he would lose his fucking mind
if he knew what I came here to say.
190
00:12:45,933 --> 00:12:48,227
[inhales sharply] Guys, give me a minute?
191
00:12:48,227 --> 00:12:49,561
- Sure.
- [person] Sure.
192
00:12:51,313 --> 00:12:53,774
- [Sahil speaks indistinctly]
- [person] Yeah.
193
00:12:55,150 --> 00:12:57,069
[Sahil, person speak indistinctly]
194
00:12:57,069 --> 00:12:58,654
Paul may not have the votes.
195
00:12:59,821 --> 00:13:03,242
There are rumors of major problems
at Hyperion,
196
00:13:03,242 --> 00:13:05,786
and our shareholders are getting jumpy.
197
00:13:07,496 --> 00:13:09,331
So you're looking for another buyer?
198
00:13:09,331 --> 00:13:11,250
I am looking for a loan.
199
00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:14,545
You know, like that eight billion
you were gonna give me a few weeks ago.
200
00:13:14,545 --> 00:13:17,214
That's the security blanket
our key investors need
201
00:13:17,214 --> 00:13:18,757
to defect to our side.
202
00:13:18,757 --> 00:13:20,717
Yeah, sorry, that loan's off the table.
203
00:13:20,717 --> 00:13:21,718
I figured as much.
204
00:13:21,718 --> 00:13:24,179
So, I'm happy to sweeten the deal.
205
00:13:25,180 --> 00:13:28,892
We will give Sloan
a piece of UBA's equity.
206
00:13:29,726 --> 00:13:31,728
You won't even know how
to spend that much money.
207
00:13:32,354 --> 00:13:34,690
[clicks tongue] I don't know.
208
00:13:34,690 --> 00:13:37,484
When someone has smallpox,
I don't really wanna share their blanket.
209
00:13:37,484 --> 00:13:44,283
Hmm. Your buddy, Fred, seems to think
the deal is worth the trouble.
210
00:13:46,076 --> 00:13:49,496
He's advising Hyperion
on the breakup value of UBA's assets
211
00:13:49,496 --> 00:13:51,707
and getting a serious payout
for his trouble.
212
00:13:54,585 --> 00:13:56,837
[inhales sharply] Sounds like
he's forgetting who his friends are.
213
00:13:56,837 --> 00:13:57,921
Mmm.
214
00:14:00,841 --> 00:14:03,468
Well, whip some votes, Cory. [sighs]
215
00:14:04,344 --> 00:14:06,555
And maybe I'll write you that check.
216
00:14:15,355 --> 00:14:17,191
[knocking]
217
00:14:19,193 --> 00:14:23,238
Bradley, I am not leaving until
you open the door and I talk to you,
218
00:14:23,238 --> 00:14:24,531
and I know that you're okay.
219
00:14:27,576 --> 00:14:28,577
[sighs]
220
00:14:30,662 --> 00:14:31,705
Bradley.
221
00:14:32,831 --> 00:14:33,832
[sighs]
222
00:14:34,917 --> 00:14:38,837
Oh, thank God. [sighs]
Can I please come in?
223
00:14:39,546 --> 00:14:41,131
You have to leave your bag in the hall.
224
00:14:43,050 --> 00:14:44,760
- What?
- You can't come in
225
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,303
unless you leave your bag in the hall.
226
00:14:46,887 --> 00:14:48,347
Okay. Okay.
227
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:52,768
And that.
228
00:14:58,190 --> 00:14:59,191
Okay.
229
00:15:03,028 --> 00:15:04,029
[Alex exhales sharply]
230
00:15:05,364 --> 00:15:06,615
- Okay. Come on.
- Okay.
231
00:15:10,494 --> 00:15:11,995
Did you lie to the FBI?
232
00:15:16,083 --> 00:15:18,168
Oh, fuck, Bradley!
233
00:15:18,168 --> 00:15:20,128
I didn't have a choice. He's my brother.
234
00:15:20,128 --> 00:15:22,840
Of course you did! You have a choice.
You always have a choice!
235
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,633
No, I fucking didn't, Alex!
236
00:15:25,551 --> 00:15:28,428
He's my only family.
How could I do that to him?
237
00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:29,763
Could you do that to Lizzy?
238
00:15:32,266 --> 00:15:34,059
I could've helped you.
I could've helped you. We--
239
00:15:34,059 --> 00:15:36,812
- We could've helped you.
- Who? You-You-You and Paul?
240
00:15:38,063 --> 00:15:39,398
I tried to warn you about him.
241
00:15:39,398 --> 00:15:42,359
I tried t-- to tell you,
but you did not wanna hear it.
242
00:15:42,359 --> 00:15:44,862
What the hell does Paul have to do
with any of this?
243
00:15:44,862 --> 00:15:47,865
How did he know, Alex? How did he know?
244
00:15:47,865 --> 00:15:51,368
You're a journalist.
How the fuck did he know about me and Hal?
245
00:15:51,368 --> 00:15:55,247
There are hours--
Hundreds of hours of footage of that day.
246
00:15:55,247 --> 00:15:58,000
You really thought--
You thought no one would figure this out?
247
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,712
Somebody did figure it out.
Laura figured it out.
248
00:16:01,712 --> 00:16:04,339
- Okay.
- When Paul came to talk to me,
249
00:16:04,339 --> 00:16:06,758
he knew that Laura
had already confronted me.
250
00:16:06,758 --> 00:16:08,719
He knew exactly what she had said.
251
00:16:09,428 --> 00:16:12,431
And we-- we were in a private space.
We were at her house.
252
00:16:12,431 --> 00:16:13,640
There was nobody else there.
253
00:16:14,683 --> 00:16:15,684
How did he know?
254
00:16:16,476 --> 00:16:17,728
How is that possible?
255
00:16:18,604 --> 00:16:21,064
How the fuck did he know what she said?
[breathes sharply]
256
00:16:26,904 --> 00:16:28,405
So you think he's surveilling you?
257
00:16:28,405 --> 00:16:30,699
I think he's been surveilling me.
258
00:16:30,699 --> 00:16:33,452
Ever since he found out
I was investigating him.
259
00:16:33,452 --> 00:16:36,413
And I don't know if he's on my phone,
I-I don't know if he's on my computer,
260
00:16:36,413 --> 00:16:39,499
but he has eyes on me. It is very clear.
261
00:16:40,083 --> 00:16:41,960
Oh, that's a really big leap, Bradley.
262
00:16:42,878 --> 00:16:44,171
You have to stop this sale.
263
00:16:45,964 --> 00:16:47,174
You have to, Alex.
264
00:16:50,385 --> 00:16:53,764
Even if you have proof,
what am I gonna do?
265
00:16:53,764 --> 00:16:54,848
How do I stop this sale?
266
00:16:54,848 --> 00:16:57,351
I don't know. You're fucking smart.
You're gonna figure it out.
267
00:16:57,351 --> 00:16:59,436
Talk to Stella. She-She-She started this.
268
00:16:59,436 --> 00:17:02,105
She started pulling threads,
and there's something there, Alex.
269
00:17:02,648 --> 00:17:03,690
There's something there.
270
00:17:04,983 --> 00:17:07,194
But I-I gotta get out of here.
I gotta go to West Virginia.
271
00:17:07,194 --> 00:17:08,487
I gotta get the fuck out of town.
272
00:17:08,487 --> 00:17:10,405
- Slow down. Just slow down.
- I have to hide.
273
00:17:10,405 --> 00:17:12,824
You can't just leave, okay?
Just slow down.
274
00:17:13,575 --> 00:17:15,618
- Do you know what he said to me, Alex?
- [sighs] No. God, no.
275
00:17:16,453 --> 00:17:18,079
He told me he would destroy her life.
276
00:17:19,455 --> 00:17:21,625
He said he would ruin Laura's career.
277
00:17:25,087 --> 00:17:26,338
I can't let that happen.
278
00:17:27,047 --> 00:17:28,131
I won't let that happen.
279
00:17:30,467 --> 00:17:31,552
[sighs]
280
00:17:47,943 --> 00:17:48,944
[cell phone buzzes]
281
00:17:54,908 --> 00:17:56,034
{\an8}[Alex sighs]
282
00:18:04,334 --> 00:18:06,753
Ms. Levy, you ready to head home,
or should I keep driving?
283
00:18:06,753 --> 00:18:09,047
Um, could you just keep driving, please?
284
00:18:55,427 --> 00:18:56,720
[sighs] Okay.
285
00:19:08,273 --> 00:19:09,816
[elevator doors open]
286
00:19:12,027 --> 00:19:13,570
- [Paul] Hey. There you are.
- Hi.
287
00:19:13,570 --> 00:19:15,364
- I was starting to get worried.
- I'm sorry.
288
00:19:15,364 --> 00:19:18,492
- [groans] Mmm.
- [sighs] Mmm.
289
00:19:20,244 --> 00:19:21,078
How was your day?
290
00:19:21,078 --> 00:19:22,496
[inhales deeply] Great. You know,
291
00:19:22,496 --> 00:19:28,043
a succession of lawyers like Russian
nesting dolls in Brooks Brothers suits.
292
00:19:28,043 --> 00:19:29,169
[grunts]
293
00:19:29,169 --> 00:19:31,797
Ho-How was yours? You holding up?
294
00:19:33,549 --> 00:19:34,800
I saw Bradley.
295
00:19:36,468 --> 00:19:39,137
- Oh.
- [sighs]
296
00:19:39,137 --> 00:19:40,222
How is she?
297
00:19:40,222 --> 00:19:41,557
Pretty fucked up.
298
00:19:43,225 --> 00:19:46,728
She did not sound like herself.
Really manic.
299
00:19:47,271 --> 00:19:50,232
That's... [sighs] ...grim.
300
00:19:50,232 --> 00:19:51,733
Yeah.
301
00:19:51,733 --> 00:19:54,736
What, um-- [sighs] What was she saying?
302
00:19:57,823 --> 00:19:59,074
Nothing.
303
00:19:59,074 --> 00:20:02,494
You know, it was more how sh--
It's more how she sounded.
304
00:20:03,662 --> 00:20:08,083
You know, I think she just knows that
there's no coming back from what she did.
305
00:20:09,293 --> 00:20:10,919
[inhales deeply] Yeah.
306
00:20:10,919 --> 00:20:13,172
I just really want this part to be over,
you know?
307
00:20:13,172 --> 00:20:16,133
Just so much pressure with this deal
308
00:20:16,133 --> 00:20:18,051
and everybody just wanting to,
like, tear it down.
309
00:20:21,054 --> 00:20:22,806
We will get through this part. [sighs]
310
00:20:22,806 --> 00:20:25,559
And then when we are on
the other side of this,
311
00:20:25,559 --> 00:20:26,935
it will be a whole lot better.
312
00:20:28,478 --> 00:20:33,275
I just really wish there was something
I could do for her, you know?
313
00:20:33,275 --> 00:20:36,028
Well, she's gonna have
to start doing some things for herself.
314
00:20:37,988 --> 00:20:39,656
Mm-hmm. I know.
315
00:20:39,656 --> 00:20:42,784
But I think there's still such a thing as
a second chance.
316
00:20:44,286 --> 00:20:45,829
Sometimes. [scoffs]
317
00:20:45,829 --> 00:20:48,749
Yeah. Well, I think she just
has to disappear, you know?
318
00:20:48,749 --> 00:20:50,417
- [groans]
- Go back to Hanover
319
00:20:50,417 --> 00:20:54,171
and just hide out
until all this blows over. [sighs]
320
00:20:55,172 --> 00:20:59,968
So are we, uh, still doing dinner
or has that ship sailed?
321
00:21:01,553 --> 00:21:04,681
You know, um, I'm so tired.
322
00:21:04,681 --> 00:21:06,266
The day's really caught up with me.
323
00:21:06,767 --> 00:21:08,268
Do you mind if we order in?
324
00:21:09,019 --> 00:21:11,146
No, it's fine. Whatever you want.
325
00:21:11,146 --> 00:21:13,440
Okay. Just choose anything.
326
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,611
- I'm gonna, um, go change. Be right out.
- Okay.
327
00:21:17,611 --> 00:21:19,655
["Lazarus" playing]
328
00:21:20,531 --> 00:21:23,825
[groans, sighing]
329
00:21:59,653 --> 00:22:01,446
[Yanko] I know. I get it.
I gotta see it, all right?
330
00:22:01,446 --> 00:22:03,782
I know I'm the last guy on earth
who hasn't seen it--
331
00:22:03,782 --> 00:22:05,784
[Chris] It's Tom Cruise in a fighter jet.
332
00:22:05,784 --> 00:22:07,578
- I want another sequel...
- [Yanko scoffs]
333
00:22:07,578 --> 00:22:08,704
...and then one after that.
334
00:22:08,704 --> 00:22:11,665
I don't care how old he gets.
You can strap his walker into the cockpit.
335
00:22:11,665 --> 00:22:13,834
{\an8}Yeah, right. And he'd still make
that look good, wouldn't he?
336
00:22:13,834 --> 00:22:15,460
{\an8}- You better believe it. [laughs]
- Yeah.
337
00:22:15,460 --> 00:22:17,838
{\an8}And now we have a very special guest
338
00:22:17,838 --> 00:22:21,758
{\an8}here to discuss the imminent sale of UBA
to Hyperion CEO Paul Marks.
339
00:22:21,758 --> 00:22:24,303
- [breathes shakily] Okay. Oh, shit.
- [Yanko] Charles "Chip" Black.
340
00:22:24,303 --> 00:22:26,346
Emmy winner and--
[stammers] Oh, there he is.
341
00:22:26,346 --> 00:22:29,600
Chip, former executive producer
here at-at UBA.
342
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,185
{\an8}- Chip, welcome to TMS.
- Hi. Hi.
343
00:22:31,185 --> 00:22:33,020
{\an8}Or I guess
I should say welcome back, right?
344
00:22:33,020 --> 00:22:35,731
{\an8}Yeah, hi-- hi, guys. Uh, thanks for--
thanks for having me.
345
00:22:35,731 --> 00:22:37,107
Yeah. No, of course. Of course.
346
00:22:37,107 --> 00:22:40,611
So, Chip, you've seen this network
go through so many changes over the years.
347
00:22:40,611 --> 00:22:43,572
Why do you feel compelled
to-to talk about this one today?
348
00:22:43,572 --> 00:22:45,699
{\an8}Uh, because three years ago
I made a huge mistake.
349
00:22:45,699 --> 00:22:48,535
{\an8}Um, I waited too long
to speak up about Mitch Kessler.
350
00:22:49,411 --> 00:22:50,996
{\an8}Um, I knew what he was doing.
351
00:22:51,538 --> 00:22:54,374
{\an8}I mean, I didn't-- Not the--
Not the extent, not all of it--
352
00:22:54,374 --> 00:22:57,669
But, um, I had a sense of it.
[breathes shakily]
353
00:22:57,669 --> 00:23:00,923
{\an8}Maybe if I had said something earlier,
uh, fewer people would have been hurt.
354
00:23:00,923 --> 00:23:03,634
{\an8}And, um, I really screwed that up.
355
00:23:04,176 --> 00:23:05,677
[crew] Stay on one.
356
00:23:05,677 --> 00:23:07,596
[Chris] You've recently been
let go from your job here.
357
00:23:07,596 --> 00:23:08,972
Yeah.
358
00:23:08,972 --> 00:23:11,099
So why should we listen
to what you have to say?
359
00:23:11,099 --> 00:23:13,227
Because this has absolutely
nothing to do with me.
360
00:23:13,227 --> 00:23:17,105
This is about UBA and people need to know
what's about to happen to this place.
361
00:23:17,105 --> 00:23:20,275
{\an8}- You mean the sale to Paul Marks?
- Nope. I mean the end of UBA.
362
00:23:20,275 --> 00:23:21,693
Here we go.
363
00:23:21,693 --> 00:23:25,072
{\an8}Paul Marks is going
to dismantle this place. Literally.
364
00:23:25,656 --> 00:23:28,158
If the shareholders vote yes
on the sale tomorrow,
365
00:23:28,158 --> 00:23:31,245
{\an8}this whole network,
it will cease to exist.
366
00:23:31,787 --> 00:23:33,372
{\an8}All of it, just-just-just gone.
367
00:23:33,372 --> 00:23:35,749
Th-These two people,
the show, everybody here,
368
00:23:35,749 --> 00:23:38,919
{\an8}it's just gonna be sucked
into a giant fucking black void and--
369
00:23:38,919 --> 00:23:40,838
{\an8}- Wow. Okay.
- Sorry, sorry.
370
00:23:40,838 --> 00:23:41,755
Chip, really?
371
00:23:41,755 --> 00:23:44,258
Watch the language. I think it would help
to make your case without having to--
372
00:23:44,258 --> 00:23:45,509
[stuttering] You're right.
373
00:23:45,509 --> 00:23:48,512
Mia, I'm sorry about that.
I will pay the 10K FCC fine.
374
00:23:48,512 --> 00:23:51,890
- [Chris] Okay, Chip, how do you know this?
- [crew] Take two.
375
00:23:51,890 --> 00:23:54,893
You know, the rumor mill can
get pretty crazy around deals like these.
376
00:23:54,893 --> 00:23:58,981
Mm-hmm. It's because it's been
confirmed by multiple sources.
377
00:23:58,981 --> 00:24:01,900
That is what we do here. We fact-check.
378
00:24:01,900 --> 00:24:05,112
When Yanko and Chris are telling you guys
what's happening in the world,
379
00:24:05,112 --> 00:24:10,117
{\an8}that's because dozens of people--
people you never see-- made it possible.
380
00:24:10,117 --> 00:24:11,869
{\an8}It's a whole process, okay?
381
00:24:11,869 --> 00:24:14,788
Uh, look, there's somebody on
the national news desk--
382
00:24:14,788 --> 00:24:16,707
They're eating way too much junk food,
they get an alert,
383
00:24:16,707 --> 00:24:18,584
it's, uh, "shots fired"
or something like that.
384
00:24:18,584 --> 00:24:20,544
{\an8}They call the local sheriff's office
to confirm it.
385
00:24:20,544 --> 00:24:24,006
{\an8}Only when it's confirmed do they put out
a news alert on a Slack channel.
386
00:24:24,006 --> 00:24:25,883
{\an8}This is all, like,
3:00 in the morning, by the way.
387
00:24:25,883 --> 00:24:27,885
{\an8}The producers,
they start writing the scripts.
388
00:24:27,885 --> 00:24:30,262
{\an8}Chris gets in here ridiculously early
389
00:24:30,262 --> 00:24:33,348
{\an8}because she needs to review
and rewrite her copy
390
00:24:33,348 --> 00:24:38,145
{\an8}because she cares about getting it right.
Which Twitter does not do.
391
00:24:38,145 --> 00:24:40,230
And by the way,
no problem with Twitter, okay?
392
00:24:40,230 --> 00:24:42,608
I-It's got its place.
But that is narrowcasting.
393
00:24:42,608 --> 00:24:47,404
{\an8}We need broadcasting, as-as corporate
and as compromised as it is.
394
00:24:47,404 --> 00:24:49,531
{\an8}We need a team of competent people
telling us
395
00:24:49,531 --> 00:24:51,575
{\an8}what's actually happening in the world.
396
00:24:51,575 --> 00:24:55,245
{\an8}I mean, this is-- this is it.
This is the last free campfire in America.
397
00:24:55,245 --> 00:24:57,331
{\an8}And if this goes out we're all gonna be
398
00:24:57,331 --> 00:24:58,624
{\an8}-in the fucking dark, people.
- Oh, man.
399
00:24:58,624 --> 00:25:00,375
{\an8}And w-- Sorry, I--
400
00:25:00,375 --> 00:25:02,461
- [crew] Stay with Chip.
- [Chip groans]
401
00:25:03,587 --> 00:25:06,798
No. No. You know what, fuck that.
402
00:25:06,798 --> 00:25:08,592
- [Rena sighs]
- I'm not sorry.
403
00:25:08,592 --> 00:25:11,303
Hey, Paul, you wanna nuke this place?
Fine.
404
00:25:11,303 --> 00:25:13,514
You pay the fucking FCC obscenity fines.
405
00:25:13,514 --> 00:25:16,391
{\an8}You are killing an 80-year-old company
406
00:25:16,391 --> 00:25:21,063
{\an8}that started as a radio station warning
people about the dangers of fascism.
407
00:25:21,063 --> 00:25:24,900
{\an8}And you do not fucking care.
So fuck you, motherfucker!
408
00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:27,194
{\an8}Fuck you and the fucking rocket
you rode in on.
409
00:25:27,194 --> 00:25:30,447
{\an8}Which, by the way,
looks like a giant fucking metal dick!
410
00:25:30,447 --> 00:25:34,576
{\an8}Former Morning Show producer
Charles Black broke the Internet,
411
00:25:34,576 --> 00:25:39,331
{\an8}not to mention major news,
when he announced live on-air
412
00:25:39,331 --> 00:25:42,584
{\an8}that billionaire Paul Marks
plans to liquidate UBA
413
00:25:42,584 --> 00:25:44,795
{\an8}following Friday's shareholder vote
on the sale.
414
00:25:45,420 --> 00:25:49,925
{\an8}And in an age where there's literally
a new billionaire every single day,
415
00:25:49,925 --> 00:25:56,014
{\an8}Black's R-rated, populist rant struck
a nerve across the political spectrum.
416
00:25:56,014 --> 00:26:00,853
{\an8}Woke cheerleader, AOC,
tweeted that Black was, quote, "baller."
417
00:26:01,854 --> 00:26:06,692
{\an8}And even Senator Ted Cruz called for
Congress to investigate Marks' bid
418
00:26:06,692 --> 00:26:08,610
{\an8}for the legacy media giant.
419
00:26:09,486 --> 00:26:12,281
A little Howard Beale goes a long way.
420
00:26:12,281 --> 00:26:15,117
Who knew Chip Black's f-bombs
would save the day?
421
00:26:15,117 --> 00:26:17,411
[Cybil] Two major shareholders
called me an hour ago.
422
00:26:17,411 --> 00:26:21,248
They said the payout wasn't worth
all the bad press.
423
00:26:21,248 --> 00:26:22,416
They're voting no.
424
00:26:22,416 --> 00:26:24,710
[sighs] I used to hate no. Now I love it!
425
00:26:24,710 --> 00:26:26,753
[Cybil] Yeah.
Mercedes is still on the fence though.
426
00:26:26,753 --> 00:26:31,049
She's concerned about the financial
implications of rejecting Paul's bid.
427
00:26:31,049 --> 00:26:34,052
Tell her we just shook down
my favorite golf buddy for eight billion.
428
00:26:34,887 --> 00:26:36,305
So Reed came through?
429
00:26:37,139 --> 00:26:38,599
What did you promise him?
430
00:26:38,599 --> 00:26:42,269
Well, let's just say
you might have to sell a Picasso.
431
00:26:42,269 --> 00:26:44,521
- Cory--
- [Cory] Cybil, this is fun.
432
00:26:44,521 --> 00:26:46,064
We're gonna kill a billionaire.
433
00:26:46,064 --> 00:26:47,691
[Cybil] Yeah, I'm hanging up now.
434
00:26:49,026 --> 00:26:50,861
[Amanda]
Board members are starting to turn.
435
00:26:51,612 --> 00:26:53,906
Paul, this is happening.
436
00:26:53,906 --> 00:26:55,324
We're losing votes.
437
00:26:56,158 --> 00:26:57,743
Cory fucking Ellison.
438
00:27:01,079 --> 00:27:02,998
[Cory] Compile the paperwork for the loan.
439
00:27:02,998 --> 00:27:06,668
Don't even touch a UBA computer.
440
00:27:06,668 --> 00:27:10,339
No emails, no pdfs. This has to be analog.
441
00:27:10,339 --> 00:27:12,090
Then deliver it to my hotel.
442
00:27:12,633 --> 00:27:14,009
Reed and I are meeting tonight.
443
00:27:14,009 --> 00:27:15,093
Got it.
444
00:27:15,093 --> 00:27:19,932
After that, you and I,
we don't talk until after the vote.
445
00:27:19,932 --> 00:27:21,141
No calls. Nothing.
446
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:23,477
And we keep playing dead.
447
00:27:23,977 --> 00:27:26,730
I want Paul Marks
to fall off his fucking chair
448
00:27:26,730 --> 00:27:28,524
when I walk into that boardroom on Friday.
449
00:27:41,245 --> 00:27:44,414
Ah. [sighs] Thank you.
450
00:27:44,414 --> 00:27:45,624
Sure.
451
00:27:46,416 --> 00:27:48,836
So have you, um, talked to her?
452
00:27:48,836 --> 00:27:52,214
No, not since her little on-air spectacle.
453
00:27:52,798 --> 00:27:54,049
She's so full of shit.
454
00:27:54,049 --> 00:27:55,133
Oof.
455
00:27:55,133 --> 00:27:59,054
[stammers] If she asked you
to come here to talk to me, I--
456
00:27:59,054 --> 00:28:00,472
Mmm, she didn't.
457
00:28:01,348 --> 00:28:07,980
But she did tell me about, um,
January 6th and Hal. All of it.
458
00:28:10,274 --> 00:28:14,486
- Wow. So now she's coming clean?
- [inhales deeply]
459
00:28:14,486 --> 00:28:17,114
She feels really awful.
460
00:28:21,034 --> 00:28:22,286
[sighs]
461
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,836
You know, Bradley is, um, a stranger.
462
00:28:31,628 --> 00:28:32,713
I see that now.
463
00:28:33,338 --> 00:28:35,132
I never knew her. Not really.
464
00:28:36,717 --> 00:28:37,926
I just wanted to.
465
00:28:38,886 --> 00:28:41,889
Ugh. This is all just fucked up.
[chuckles]
466
00:28:41,889 --> 00:28:43,849
It's all such a mess.
467
00:28:44,516 --> 00:28:46,476
This isn't just about Bradley, is it?
468
00:28:47,311 --> 00:28:48,145
Well... [sighs]
469
00:28:48,145 --> 00:28:51,356
- I mean, I-I saw Chip's rant.
- Oh.
470
00:28:51,356 --> 00:28:56,320
So, what, is this about Paul?
Or selling UBA?
471
00:28:58,071 --> 00:28:59,740
I-It's--
472
00:28:59,740 --> 00:29:01,783
Listen, if he had bought NBN,
473
00:29:01,783 --> 00:29:04,578
I'm sure he'd probably be doing
the same thing to us.
474
00:29:04,578 --> 00:29:06,663
I mean, you're in the middle
of the ocean treading water
475
00:29:06,663 --> 00:29:08,582
and some guy comes in a lifeboat.
476
00:29:08,582 --> 00:29:10,667
What are you gonna do? Turn him away?
477
00:29:12,294 --> 00:29:13,295
I know.
478
00:29:16,340 --> 00:29:19,635
Okay, I-- That's actually
what I'm here to talk to you about.
479
00:29:20,761 --> 00:29:21,929
Okay.
480
00:29:22,513 --> 00:29:25,015
But I'm gonna need
something a little stronger than this.
481
00:29:25,724 --> 00:29:27,351
I'll take that drink that you offered, please.
482
00:29:27,351 --> 00:29:28,644
- Thank you. [sighs]
- Coming up.
483
00:29:41,156 --> 00:29:43,867
Good to see you again, Mr. Ellison.
We missed you during the pandemic.
484
00:29:43,867 --> 00:29:45,160
- [chuckles]
- Right this way.
485
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,829
The last civilized spot in Manhattan.
486
00:29:47,829 --> 00:29:50,290
Thanks for arranging this
on such short notice.
487
00:29:50,290 --> 00:29:51,917
We'll make sure you're not disturbed.
488
00:29:54,086 --> 00:29:56,463
Would you like a menu?
We're serving till 11:00.
489
00:29:56,463 --> 00:29:58,215
[Paul] That won't be necessary.
490
00:29:58,215 --> 00:29:59,925
Don't think this meeting's
gonna take very long.
491
00:30:05,597 --> 00:30:07,391
[maƮtre d'] Can I bring
either of you gentlemen a drink?
492
00:30:07,975 --> 00:30:09,017
Talisker neat.
493
00:30:11,562 --> 00:30:13,981
Uh... [stammers] ...yeah. Uh, make it two.
494
00:30:19,778 --> 00:30:20,863
Huh.
495
00:30:23,323 --> 00:30:25,576
So, was it Earl?
496
00:30:26,076 --> 00:30:27,244
Gambling debts.
497
00:30:29,204 --> 00:30:31,915
Everybody leaves some kind of stain.
[sighs]
498
00:30:32,708 --> 00:30:34,710
And, um, Reed?
499
00:30:34,710 --> 00:30:37,546
I'm guessing you whispered sweet nothings
about asteroid rights--
500
00:30:37,546 --> 00:30:41,592
Reed realized that the profit potential
in aerospace far outstripped
501
00:30:41,592 --> 00:30:44,052
whatever Sloan could make in legacy media.
502
00:30:44,595 --> 00:30:49,266
Ad astra per aspera.
To infinity and beyond.
503
00:30:49,266 --> 00:30:52,227
Or whatever other bullshit
helps you sleep at night.
504
00:30:52,227 --> 00:30:54,062
- Thanks.
- This isn't personal, Cory.
505
00:30:54,062 --> 00:30:57,691
I'm gonna have to disagree with you there
because everything is personal.
506
00:30:57,691 --> 00:31:01,987
And every so-called business decision,
it lands on a human being.
507
00:31:01,987 --> 00:31:03,864
And in this case,
there's 22,000 of them all--
508
00:31:03,864 --> 00:31:06,408
Okay.
Okay, let's not get so high-and-mighty.
509
00:31:06,408 --> 00:31:08,619
Maybe you protected Bradley from the FBI,
510
00:31:08,619 --> 00:31:12,456
but you were also very willing to exploit
her personal life when it suited you.
511
00:31:12,456 --> 00:31:17,044
So maybe you're not the poster boy
for feminism that you think you are.
512
00:31:18,045 --> 00:31:19,922
Didn't leak that article
to protect Hannah Shoenfeld.
513
00:31:19,922 --> 00:31:24,218
You leaked it because you couldn't stand
the idea of Bradley with Laura Peterson.
514
00:31:24,218 --> 00:31:27,638
So at least, for fuck's sake,
be honest with yourself.
515
00:31:29,765 --> 00:31:31,975
Now, you never assaulted anyone.
516
00:31:31,975 --> 00:31:34,228
So tomorrow, after the vote closes,
517
00:31:34,228 --> 00:31:39,024
I'm perfectly happy to... [inhales deeply]
...make the... [sighs]
518
00:31:39,024 --> 00:31:43,445
...investigation into these
Vault allegations go away.
519
00:31:44,321 --> 00:31:47,157
Along with any talk of FBI subpoenas.
520
00:31:47,741 --> 00:31:53,205
And, uh, I'm guessing in this scenario
I give up my golden parachute?
521
00:31:53,205 --> 00:31:54,498
You wanna leave with dignity?
522
00:31:55,249 --> 00:31:59,545
- How's $10 million sound? Parting gift.
- [sighs]
523
00:32:01,839 --> 00:32:03,257
I'll just need an NDA.
524
00:32:04,049 --> 00:32:07,594
Right. Guessing the kind where
I can't even say your name to my goldfish.
525
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,889
Where we pretend
in perpetuity that you aren't
526
00:32:10,889 --> 00:32:15,143
the steaming rocket bitch shitbag
that you are.
527
00:32:15,143 --> 00:32:21,900
Goddamn, Alex really does have
the worst taste in men.
528
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:25,362
Cory, I am offering you a lifeline.
529
00:32:27,406 --> 00:32:29,491
- Take the money.
- [sighs]
530
00:32:46,842 --> 00:32:51,513
I would rather do time with the fucking
Oath Keepers than take a penny from you.
531
00:32:57,394 --> 00:33:00,397
[clicks tongue] Lost my appetite. [sighs]
532
00:33:03,734 --> 00:33:04,943
[sighs]
533
00:33:15,037 --> 00:33:16,038
[sighs]
534
00:33:26,215 --> 00:33:27,424
[sighs]
535
00:33:32,387 --> 00:33:34,348
[Cory] So the board meeting is tomorrow.
536
00:33:34,348 --> 00:33:38,143
And the remaining shareholders who
haven't weighed in are gonna vote yes.
537
00:33:38,143 --> 00:33:42,064
And by noon, Paul will have control of UBA
538
00:33:42,064 --> 00:33:45,108
and he will take it apart piece by piece.
539
00:33:45,108 --> 00:33:46,652
Eighty years of history.
540
00:33:47,819 --> 00:33:51,323
But more stuff is going to come out
about me.
541
00:33:52,824 --> 00:33:56,161
And it is gonna make me look
like a monster.
542
00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:00,666
Some of it will be true.
543
00:34:02,918 --> 00:34:04,461
Some of it won't be. Doesn't matter.
544
00:34:05,254 --> 00:34:07,047
He's gonna try to bury me.
545
00:34:14,304 --> 00:34:15,472
[stammers, sighs]
546
00:34:15,472 --> 00:34:17,516
[chuckles]
Maybe I should have listened to you.
547
00:34:18,183 --> 00:34:19,935
Ah. Maybe I deserve it.
548
00:34:19,935 --> 00:34:22,271
Maybe I lost myself
in chasing all of this.
549
00:34:22,271 --> 00:34:24,773
Anyway,
I just wanted you to hear it from me.
550
00:34:28,068 --> 00:34:32,614
"Don't flinch."
It's what you always taught me, right?
551
00:34:34,283 --> 00:34:37,995
Gotta face things head-on,
see 'em for what they are.
552
00:34:40,038 --> 00:34:41,915
[inhales deeply]
553
00:34:41,915 --> 00:34:43,166
[sighs]
554
00:34:48,422 --> 00:34:49,672
Night, Mom.
555
00:34:59,016 --> 00:35:00,392
[cell phone buzzes]
556
00:35:05,022 --> 00:35:06,732
{\an8}[groans] What's going on?
557
00:35:09,359 --> 00:35:13,363
- Is the world ending?
- Mmm, not yet.
558
00:35:13,363 --> 00:35:15,908
- [breathes deeply]
- It's all good.
559
00:35:15,908 --> 00:35:17,367
You getting any sleep?
560
00:35:18,202 --> 00:35:21,830
Not really. Such a big day tomorrow.
561
00:35:21,830 --> 00:35:25,584
Hmm. I'm glad you're gonna be there.
562
00:35:31,131 --> 00:35:31,965
[kisses]
563
00:35:32,508 --> 00:35:33,926
[groans]
564
00:35:33,926 --> 00:35:35,636
[breathing deeply]
565
00:35:58,784 --> 00:36:03,247
[Leonard]
So, the great day is finally upon us.
566
00:36:04,623 --> 00:36:06,124
[sighs] 11:40.
567
00:36:06,124 --> 00:36:07,793
There's still a few votes coming through,
568
00:36:07,793 --> 00:36:10,379
but frankly, at this point,
it's a formality.
569
00:36:10,379 --> 00:36:14,466
Congratulations, Paul.
At noon we'll make it official.
570
00:36:14,466 --> 00:36:16,969
- Thank you, appreciate the support.
- Where's-Where's Alex?
571
00:36:17,553 --> 00:36:19,179
Uh, she should be on her way.
572
00:36:26,895 --> 00:36:27,980
[elevator dings]
573
00:36:38,699 --> 00:36:39,992
Hey. There you are.
574
00:36:39,992 --> 00:36:41,243
Hi, here I am.
575
00:36:42,286 --> 00:36:43,996
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
576
00:36:43,996 --> 00:36:50,586
Just processing everything that's about
to happen, how we got here. [chuckles]
577
00:36:52,504 --> 00:36:54,464
Just really hope it was all worth it.
578
00:36:55,716 --> 00:36:58,594
It will be.
In 15 minutes, this will all be behind us.
579
00:36:58,594 --> 00:36:59,887
Mmm.
580
00:37:02,514 --> 00:37:04,600
Okay, gentlemen. Here we are.
581
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,310
[Leonard] Ah, Alex.
582
00:37:06,310 --> 00:37:07,853
Hello. Good to see you.
583
00:37:07,853 --> 00:37:08,979
Leonard.
584
00:37:10,105 --> 00:37:13,066
Well, we're close to the finish line and
we couldn't have got there without you.
585
00:37:13,066 --> 00:37:15,527
Hmm. Excuse me.
586
00:37:15,527 --> 00:37:17,946
Uh, Paul, before I forget, um...
587
00:37:38,717 --> 00:37:40,219
[exhales deeply]
588
00:37:44,431 --> 00:37:48,477
While we have a few minutes, I have
an idea I'd like to run by everybody.
589
00:37:52,147 --> 00:37:55,025
[Paul] Oh, uh, maybe we save
the brainstorming for another day?
590
00:37:55,025 --> 00:37:56,485
Let's just get this done.
591
00:37:57,444 --> 00:38:00,113
I have an alternative to Hyperion's offer.
592
00:38:00,113 --> 00:38:02,366
- [board member] What is going on?
- Excuse me?
593
00:38:02,366 --> 00:38:04,701
[board members murmuring]
594
00:38:06,578 --> 00:38:08,622
I've been consulting with NBN,
595
00:38:08,622 --> 00:38:13,877
their CEO Elena Daniels,
Laura Peterson at YDA.
596
00:38:13,877 --> 00:38:18,757
And we have drafted a few deal points
for a merger between NBN and UBA.
597
00:38:19,633 --> 00:38:23,929
I have a prospectus that I would like to
share so you could all see the numbers.
598
00:38:23,929 --> 00:38:26,139
Would you please pass those down there,
please? Thank you so much.
599
00:38:26,139 --> 00:38:28,684
And I'm very aware
that this is last minute.
600
00:38:30,978 --> 00:38:33,522
Alex, I simply don't understand.
601
00:38:33,522 --> 00:38:35,649
I don't think anyone here does.
602
00:38:35,649 --> 00:38:38,026
I believe you have
a fiduciary responsibility
603
00:38:38,026 --> 00:38:43,282
to entertain any offers that may match
or exceed Hyperion's.
604
00:38:44,992 --> 00:38:46,159
Very well.
605
00:38:46,952 --> 00:38:48,370
[pages turning]
606
00:38:49,037 --> 00:38:50,414
A merger of equals.
607
00:38:50,956 --> 00:38:52,332
That's what we're proposing.
608
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,087
Two entities coming together,
greater than the sum of their parts.
609
00:38:58,589 --> 00:39:03,552
NBN and UBA will combine resources
to reduce costs,
610
00:39:04,052 --> 00:39:06,305
ad sales, tech support,
611
00:39:06,930 --> 00:39:10,851
accounting, even programming.
612
00:39:12,227 --> 00:39:13,979
It's a chance to start over.
613
00:39:14,813 --> 00:39:16,857
To do things right for once.
614
00:39:18,442 --> 00:39:19,610
A true partnership.
615
00:39:22,988 --> 00:39:24,489
Alex, I'd like a word.
616
00:39:26,074 --> 00:39:27,868
I'll give you all a second
to look this over.
617
00:39:29,203 --> 00:39:31,371
What the fuck is that all about?
This is insane. What are you--
618
00:39:31,371 --> 00:39:32,289
Not here.
619
00:39:32,289 --> 00:39:34,374
[stammers]
What is this? Some kind of stunt?
620
00:39:34,374 --> 00:39:35,626
This is not a stunt.
621
00:39:35,626 --> 00:39:37,085
- What are you doing?
- Not here.
622
00:39:37,085 --> 00:39:38,629
I have the votes.
623
00:39:38,629 --> 00:39:41,256
Don't you realize there's literally
nothing you can do at this point?
624
00:39:44,092 --> 00:39:45,093
Hi, Paul.
625
00:39:46,929 --> 00:39:49,932
- Okay. [sighs] I'm not doing this.
- [Kate sighs]
626
00:39:51,350 --> 00:39:54,186
We know you told Kate to cut
the transmission on the rocket launch
627
00:39:54,186 --> 00:39:56,939
to hide the fact that
your navigation system malfunctioned.
628
00:39:57,564 --> 00:39:58,815
You buried the results.
629
00:39:58,815 --> 00:40:01,568
You used a hack at UBA
to cover your tracks.
630
00:40:01,568 --> 00:40:02,986
Super convenient timing.
631
00:40:02,986 --> 00:40:05,447
So you think I hacked you? Okay, Stella.
632
00:40:05,447 --> 00:40:09,034
[Kate] You have been reporting fake data
to NASA for months.
633
00:40:09,034 --> 00:40:12,788
And when I told you a longer space flight
could be lethal, you fired me.
634
00:40:13,705 --> 00:40:16,375
You had us behind schedule
and hemorrhaging cash.
635
00:40:16,375 --> 00:40:19,002
That's why you were let go,
because you were bad at your job.
636
00:40:19,002 --> 00:40:22,631
No. No, you fired me because
you didn't wanna hear the truth, Paul.
637
00:40:22,631 --> 00:40:24,216
And then when I tried to blow the whistle,
638
00:40:24,216 --> 00:40:27,761
you shut me down and you threatened me
and everyone else who would speak up.
639
00:40:27,761 --> 00:40:30,556
No, you were shut down
because you signed an NDA
640
00:40:30,556 --> 00:40:35,060
- which you have now clearly violated.
- Well, I have proof. [sighs]
641
00:40:35,060 --> 00:40:38,647
I have emails, I have files,
I have videos, I have everything.
642
00:40:39,273 --> 00:40:42,109
Alex, what do you want? What?
643
00:40:42,776 --> 00:40:43,944
What do you want?
644
00:40:51,493 --> 00:40:52,578
[sighs]
645
00:40:52,578 --> 00:40:55,581
Alex, can you please just tell me
what the fuck this is all about?
646
00:40:55,581 --> 00:40:58,375
God. Do I really have to
spell this out for you?
647
00:40:58,375 --> 00:40:59,710
Yes! Please.
648
00:41:00,377 --> 00:41:06,842
[scoffs] You surveilled Bradley,
then blackmailed her into resigning.
649
00:41:07,551 --> 00:41:09,595
You silenced a journalist.
650
00:41:11,513 --> 00:41:14,099
- I'm a journalist.
- You want this vote not to happen?
651
00:41:14,099 --> 00:41:15,684
I can go right back in
that conference room
652
00:41:15,684 --> 00:41:17,936
and delay it until we can figure this out.
653
00:41:17,936 --> 00:41:22,816
"We"? We can figure this out?
We can figure this out?
654
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,615
You did this. You did all of this.
I can't-- I can't come back from this.
655
00:41:29,615 --> 00:41:31,033
I did this to protect you.
656
00:41:31,033 --> 00:41:33,952
To protect us,
everything we have been working towards.
657
00:41:36,330 --> 00:41:37,331
[sniffles]
658
00:41:39,416 --> 00:41:41,543
Just walk away from UBA right now.
659
00:41:42,794 --> 00:41:44,963
And make it right
with the people you hurt.
660
00:41:46,924 --> 00:41:50,969
Come clean to NASA... [sighs]
661
00:41:51,887 --> 00:41:54,973
...or we'll run the story and end Hyperion.
662
00:41:57,726 --> 00:41:58,727

[scoffs]
664
00:42:20,499 --> 00:42:22,125
Tell Leonard I'm pulling out of the deal.
665
00:42:30,592 --> 00:42:31,677
You'll hear from my lawyers.
666
00:42:36,515 --> 00:42:38,809

Mr. Ellison put you up there.
Is that correct?

No.

he spent a lot of time with you.

he had feelings for you?

Saw you as more than a colleague?
710
00:45:20,512 --> 00:45:22,639
There was one night. [sighs]
711

[stammers] One night when...
712
00:45:32,733 --> 00:45:33,901
He told me he loved me.

How did you respond?
714
00:45:41,325 --> 00:45:46,163
I left. I went to Montana,
and I stayed there for a long time.
715

[interviewer] Because you were afraid?
716

Yes, I w-- I was afraid.
717
00:45:55,756 --> 00:45:59,301
Of retaliation
if you didn't return his feelings?
718
00:46:00,010 --> 00:46:03,180
No. No, I was afraid because...
719
00:46:05,432 --> 00:46:07,434
he saw me for who I really was.

It was good to see Hal, you know.

So, um, I did some pretty awful things.
734
00:47:05,742 --> 00:47:07,619
And some of them I did to you.
735
00:47:09,705 --> 00:47:11,748
It wasn't okay. Any of it.
